In number 44 of 52 Things You Don't Experience in America I mentioned "Bare Bellies." Last week the temperature got up to the low 80s. As I walked down the street I spotted my first experience this year of a man with his shirt rolled up with his belly hanging out. As I walked past, I realized that this first sighting was similar to Groundhog Day in America.
As you all know, Groundhog Day is February the 2nd. Punxsutawny Phil comes out and if he sees his shadow there are 6 more weeks of winter. If our little furry Phil doesn't see his shadow then Spring is fast approaching. In East Asia, they don't celebrate Groundhog day, but as I saw my first bare belly, I knew Spring was just around the corner!
